Magnum, P.I. (1980)

The Arrow That Is Not Aimed - S3-E13

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the scene at the King Kamehameha club, Rick and TC are laughing their pants off at the whole ninja story. Magnum says "Come on, guys!" and two people - a woman with a blue swimsuit and pareo and a man with a purple tanktop with a large light strip - are moving across the street. Those same extras are recycled later in the scene, simultaneously by the sea when Magnum's story is called 'a little far-fetched' and walking in the club area right after. (00:15:30)

Charleston (1977)

Continuity mistake: When James Coco drops the phone in the pool, there's an underwater camera view during which he barely moves, but he's turned around significantly in the next shot as he tries to retrieve the phone in various slapstick-y antics. (00:14:30)

Charleston (1977)

Continuity mistake: Morris shows his client the ad he put in the newspaper, irritating him for the way he keeps bobbing his hand. Seen from Morris' perspective, he holds it with the pinky finger curled and sticking to the other side of the paper, which is not true in the reverse shots. (00:07:15)

Charleston (1977)

Continuity mistake: Joe Lo Monaco is having breakfast with his lawyer, Morris. The banana in his hand is more chewed or less chewed between shots; for instance, after he tells Morris"I didn't fly you to LA to bake in the sun", he chews it till he reaches the peel, but the edible part stick out again in the next shot. Moreover, a new intact banana appears on the tray where he put the half-finished one before. (00:06:00)

Death in Paradise (2011)

Murder in the Polls - S6-E8

Death in Paradise (2011)

Murder in the Polls - S6-E8

Continuity mistake: Back at the station, Jack picks Peter Baxter's profile off Florence's pile. Action happens in two shots, and the marker in his hand does a 180°; black cap up/black cap down. The mistake happens again later, with Catherine's picture. (00:10:50)

Death in Paradise (2011)

Murder in the Polls - S6-E8

Continuity mistake: After Judith Dawson's first testimony, Jack thanks her; Florence is just pretending to write and stops, but in the next shot she is back at it, scribbling her pad with the pen. At the end of this new shot, she stops writing, but is writing again in the next, all while DI Jack Mooney talks in continuity. (00:08:55)

Murder in the Polls - S6-E8

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode, Edwina Bousquet scoffs at the apology and gets up. Close-up of Judith Dawson, and you can see for a second in the background the bike with Danny John-Jules entering the premises. But there is no sound effect for it and in the next cuts he's nowhere to be seen; he arrives only later. (00:00:25)

In the Footsteps of a Killer - S6-E7

Continuity mistake: The forensics team consisting of JP and his DJ cousin has produced the magnified audio of the background noise featured in the taping. Everyone turns then to the whiteboard, but Florence's hand position on her mug does not match in the different shot shots (thumb on or off the rim, mug raised as she drinks, mug in front of her chest). (00:31:20)
